Hoosier Park Race 4 - Race 4
CAPTAIN TAYLOR (5) scored by 1.5 metres at this track over 1609m last start, the second win from his past five appearances. That latest effort is good enough to put him right in the finish. ODDS ON ALPHA MALE (6) finished second last time out, beaten 1.5 metres, in a nice return to form at this track over 1609m when second-up from a break. Primary contender in a similar race. IAM THE CAPTAIN A (1) is a great chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid third at this track over 1609m. Hard to find fault. BACKSTREET GAMBLER (2) is worth some thought despite his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track on February 20.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr1) at this track (1:53.10) beating Seaside Hanover in NW1000L4 on February 26 at $2. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 17 m by Montana Chief (1:52.20) in 12500-15CL on November 28 at $53.90. Might find this lot a bit smart.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following January 13 run. Last start posted a big 23 m win as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:54.20) beating Peace Star in TM75ORLESS on February 26 at $1.40. This race will be harder than that win. Unlikely to threaten.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 1.5 m as favourite (Fr6) at this track (1:52.20) beating Odds On Alpha Male in 15/25 CLHC on February 27 at $1.80. Key runner once again.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind General Dolan at this track over 1609m in a OPEN 3-4 on February 20 at $45.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Captain Taylor at this track over 1609m in a 15/25 CLHC on February 27 at $5. One of the key runners.
